HMA President’s Report - by Stacy Hoshino

Overall 2011 was an extraordinary year for HMA – our membership, institutional members, and board of directors all came together to fulfill the mission of HMA. I am not one to give the excuse “I was busy,” but I had to break that personal rule and say it because 2011 was a very busy year for the organization. Nühou all but ceased production for most of last year, but HMA went into overdrive with several well-attended workshops, the completion of a statewide project that was funded by the Institute of Museums and Library Services, and the massive Western Museums Association Annual Meeting and Conference that descended upon Honolulu in September. Nühou is slowly getting back on track and soon you will be able to read it online, also, be sure to head to www.hawaiimuseums.org and sign-up to receive emails to keep in touch. On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your continued support!
